Chapter 20: Beyond the Duel

() Plop Plop ...... The fierce murderous aura emanating from both sides of the duel startled the birds in the woods and scattered in all directions

The sound of a fierce metal clash resounded through the woods, and an oval encirclement of dozens of soldiers moved as the two men continued to change positions

The two duelists stopped their superfluous bickering and threw themselves into this life-and-death duel, Leonard had accepted the fact that this former subordinate was defeated and was not what it used to be, he didn't know why this kid's combat skills had improved by leaps and bounds in just a few months, this speed of progress was really incredible, but Leonard remembered one sentence: blind self-confidence and underestimating the enemy made the knight short - this was the first lesson he learned in the knight's class, and the facts also proved that when he changed to a serious attitude to this battle, he was no longer as gaffe as he was at the beginning, although he had not yet achieved absolute superiority, but gradually controlled the battle in his hands

Joyka, on the other hand, took a more cautious defensive strategy, and the young man, who had experienced storms that were disproportionate to his age, knew that although he had a slight advantage in the first few rounds, it was based on the fact that his opponent was underdefeated, and now that Leonard had calmed down, it would probably not be so easy to make a profit, and even in some sense, the enemy had a slight advantage, because Leonard was wearing a full set of sturdy Mithril alloy armor that could easily resist ordinary sword slashes, and Joika's shabby leather armor was nothing in comparison

This so-called fair duel was unfair from the start

Knowing this, Joyka, who was well aware of the terrifying defense of the Mithril Alloy Warframe, would never make a pointless attempt, and the battle lasted for nearly five minutes, and he spent most of his time in a state of passive defense, and the long sword swung around him into an airtight defense, blocking all the opponent's attacks, and also cutting off his own chance to counterattack

Hmph, coward, it turns out that the so-called progress of this kid is to turn himself into a shrunken turtle, Leonard Green sneered in his heart, generally speaking, in the knight's duel, whoever grabs the offensive initiative has a greater chance of winning, on the contrary, the side that takes passive defense often ends in failure, at this time, in Leonard's eyes, he has won the battle, and the opponent's tight defense is just a little backward in the time of defeat

However, Joyka didn't think so, the real point of this duel was not to defeat the opponent, and to lead the change of events step by step to the direction that she had already set in her mind

In the distance in a cluster of bushes

The young fat magician was holding his hands on the ground, his eyes closed, and he was contemplating

Seeing that Cassius had maintained this posture for several minutes, the impatient Ray couldn't help but shout

Don't scratch him, Sophia softly persuaded that the lake is far from here, Cassius has to inject mana into the earth, and then transfer the earth element to the lake water so that he can remotely manipulate the water element in the lake, this process takes a long time, and if it is interrupted, it will receive magic feedback

Ray immediately shut up, although he was completely blank on things in the magical realm, Sophia's words also made him understand that his urgency at this time could not help at all, and he could only wait patiently

Finally leaving, King Modulis stopped what he was doing, turned to face Owen

Well, Owen said that no matter how fragrant the nectar is, the bees will also leave the stamens

I knew that this day would come sooner or later

Actually, I have another thing besides resignation

oh

Owen took out a rectangular wooden box and brought it to Duris: Thank you for the secret medicine given by Your Majesty, it is all thanks to it, I can fully recover overnight, I only consumed a part, and the rest can be returned to His Majesty

Duris took the wooden box and nodded approvingly: You are too honest, you are not greedy at all for this miraculous medicine that can heal even the wounds of the soul, and you should not know that it is extremely precious, and if you leave the remaining part, it will save your life at least a dozen times

It's magical, but it's so dirty, I shouldn't have used it at all

Dirty, why do you use such a word to describe a life-saving elixir?

You know where it came from

The king shook his head and said, "A friend gave it to me a long time ago, I don't know what its name is, I don't know what it was made of, I only know that this medicine can cure any disease and injury, no matter how severe, and I have treasured it for many years

It was made by the Central Church, and it was called the 'Gift of the Holy Spirit', and Owen's face grew solemn, and you know that this medicine, which heals even wounded souls, was made from the souls of thousands of humans

The always calm king had a surprised expression

It is said that more than 1,000 years ago, a rebellious priest escaped from the church with the only remaining piece of the 'gift of the Holy Spirit' in the world, and the 'gift of the Holy Spirit' in your hand is only half of the 'gift of the Holy Spirit' that was taken away by the rebellious priest back then

Half of it, you're saying there's another half of the world in the world

There is no zĂ i because ...... Owen paused, his tone heavy, and the other half was already inside my body

The battle entered a white heat, and the fighting spirits of the two burned one after another

The violent impact of the battle spirit made every sword attack on both sides turn into an invisible sword qi, and the soldiers retreated one after another in order to avoid being accidentally injured by the battle spirit, and the encirclement expanded a lot

For Leonard, Jojica brought him too many surprises, although this proud knight of the throne has accepted the fact that Joica's combat skills have improved greatly, but the progress to the cultivation of the battle spirit is still greatly beyond the scope of Leonard's psychological tolerance, you must know that many knights have exhausted their life's work and cannot comprehend the war spirit, Leonard himself has experienced countless cruel bloody battles and hard training, and only barely broke through the entrance at the age of 36 to comprehend the junior knight's war spirit;

Now, with both sides fully burning their fighting spirits, it is no longer feasible to rely on the superior protection ability of the Mithril Warframe to drag through the opponent's body in a protracted battle, and as long as Joyka still adopts defensive tactics of only defending and not attacking, this duel is very likely to continue endlessly

In order not to lose his self-esteem in front of his subordinates, Leonard became more and more frantic in his heart, he gave up his defense, launched an extremely crazy attack, trying to tear through Joika's defense, a series of violent attacks, Joika was forced to retreat again and again, and gradually could not keep up with the opponent's offensive;

Theoretically, the knight who burned the battle spirit could feel the abnormal fluctuations of the magic elements around him, but if the knight fell into madness due to the loss of reason, his ability to sense magic would be greatly weakened, and now Leonard's eyes were red, and he was in such a state, he was too focused on the duel in front of him, like his soldiers, and he didn't notice that a large amount of magical energy had poured into the lake through the ground, and countless water droplets floated from the surface of the lake to the air under the mana control, condensing hundreds of tiny ice needles

Go, Cassius shouted when the time was ripe, and the countless ice needles floating in the air seemed to have life, and they were spilling on the group of soldiers who were cheering for their leader

In an instant, the screams came and went, and the unsuspecting soldiers were enveloped in a sudden rain of ice needles, and sharp, tiny ice needles pierced the skin exposed outside the armor and burrowed into the flesh

Jiekasius snapped his fingers, although the tiny ice needle was not enough to kill, but with the magician's order, the frozen magic energy contained in the ice needle was immediately released, and the blood vessels quickly spread throughout the body, and in just a few seconds, the soldiers stopped screaming and turned into ice sculptures......

However, at this time, the shape of the duel took a sharp turn, Leonard's devotion to the duel made him lose any sense of anything outside the battlefield, and only the thought of killing the opponent in front of him was left in his mind, and he turned a blind eye to the sudden magic attack of unknown origin on his subordinates, and Joyka's defense was finally torn apart, and in front of the sword blessed with the spirit of war, it was no different from tissue paper, he was hit by a sword on his right shoulder, and a deep scar appeared that could be seen in the bone, blood gushed out, and the damage caused by the sword was very severe, and the nerve in his right arm was severed, and the arm was reimbursed, and Joyka endured the severe pain, handed over the weapon to his left hand and continued to fight

Helping Joika, he almost couldn't hold it anymore, and Sophia, who saw Joika in danger on the other side of the bush, rushed out

I shouted at the thunder, grabbed the Blood Pact Dragon Lance, and jumped out from behind the bushes

At this moment, another unexpected thing happened: Bryan in front of the tent door was arched, a red-haired young man with his hands and feet bound by ropes jumped out and fell to the ground, and then he moved on the ground like a caterpillar, he opened his mouth to shout, but there was no sound, a soldier rushed out of the tent, stepped on the back of the red-haired youth, raised his knife and was about to cut it down--

Seeing the red-haired youth's face, Cassius exclaimed: "He's Lyle.
